Here we go againHere we go againPosted Jun 3, 2004 19:58 UTC (Thu) by fuzzy (guest, #22057)In reply to: Here we go again by Prototerm Parent article: Windows vs Linux - Which is easier to install? "...insisting that only programmers and system administrators should be allowed to use a computer..." I'm what many folks call a 'Linux hard-liner' and I personally wouldn't say that. In fact, I think Linux is _better_ for new users because it lets you see so much more 'under the hood' where M$ wants to hide everything. I think a new user + a new computer (should) = a fun learning experience. M$ apparently doesn't think so, and worse, doesn't believe its customers are up to it. How insulting! "If an ordinary person cannot install and configure a computer, it is a failure of the OS design, and not the stupidity of the user that's at fault." Exactly. C'mon, fellow *N?X developers/admins, we can do better. We can make front ends that are simple and work correctly, and leave their back ends open for more curious users to see.
